It's snowing!

Yes, you read right. It's snowing in Canada!

I haven't even bought a heated waterer!
Or a 2 mile long cord to reach my coop! (Okay, maybe only 100 feet, but same difference)

Sigh.

So... what low-power heating mat would you recommend for keeping my eggs from freezing? I have 40 laying hens, so I get eggs every time of the day.

Thanks! I only hope it melts so I can rake leaves, or else my yard will be a stinky, rotted mess in the spring.

Not sure which is worst .... Snow or hurricanes/rain & winds? Mother Nature is really putting us through a test with perseverance & "game plans". This Island got lucky, Olivia by passed us, alot still cleaning up after Hurricane Lane. Then the Carolinas have Florence to deal with Prayers for all
